I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from
the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of
God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the
quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
2007/93 minutes
MEMORIALS
Synopsis: There’s lots of magic...in Mr.
Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. Stuffed
animals cozy up to would-be owners, a
gigantic magic book poofs toys into
instantaneous existence, and bouncy balls
try to sneak out of the store via shoppers’
bags. This isn’t the kind of magic you find in
Macbeth or Harry Potter or even The
Chronicles of Narnia. This is the special
magic with which most children engage
during their first precious years, when the
world is filled with wonder and newness and
outrageous possibilities. The Emporium is a
place where imagination sparks reality;
where paper planes can paint a cosmos. You
have to believe it to see it.
In Memory of Ruth Cabaniss
Given by her family to the Trinity United Methodist Women
In Memory of Larry Shirley
Given by Ray and Bonnie Shirley

one up in the office this week. And if you don’t have time to read before class, don’t
worry. We’ll have lots to discuss! Teachers/facilitators include Phillip Westbrook,
